I don't recall them saying anything about the safety of ads one way or the other. Their arguments seem to center around calling things theft and restating the thesis that if their ad revenue dries up, their content does as well. The safety or lack thereof of advertising isn't mentioned. It isn't part of the narrative they want everyone discussing. This is more like Banquo's ghost: Something they hoped everyone would forget which comes back to haunt them. Out, out, damned spots indeed.
